Sin City

Description

WHOEVER SAYS CRIME DOESN’T PAY ISN’T DOING IT RIGHT. Billy Cunningham is the most wanted cheat in Las Vegas. His scams have cost the casinos so much money that the governor has ordered the gaming board to bring him in at any cost. Normally, Billy would lay low until the dust settles. But during a trip to Reno, he has a chance encounter with Special Agent Ray Lopez of the FBI. Billy helps Lopez catch a pair of serial killers called The Glitter Twins and a bond is formed. Lopez is a hero with a fatal flaw. He’s a gambling addict with huge debts. Seeing an opportunity, Billy recruits Lopez to help him scam a casino in Las Vegas for millions. The scam is called the bomb, and is the most audacious blackjack scam ever invented. It’s Billy’s way to give the gaming board a black eye before he heads south to Mexico. But like the best laid plans of mice and men, the scam goes horribly wrong, and Billy and Lopez are forced to make life or death choices that will forever change both their lives. “No one in the world does this stuff better than Jim Swain.” –Lee Child “James Swain is the real deal. His books about Las Vegas never fail to entertain and surprise. Sin City is a non-stop adrenalin rush. Read it.” Michael Connelly
